I didn't know hospitals could contact the police and notify them about drunks, don't think any of my locals do that. When I go out drinking with my friends, if any of us 'overdo' it the rest of us will make sure that that particular person gets home in 1 piece and withot getting into trouble. All too often I go to drunks (mainly the younger ones) who are 'abandoned' by their 'friends as soon as they fall over. On the subject of younger drunks, why do teenage girls never tie their hair back before necking a bottle of Vodka? do they think that blokes find vomit in hair attractive? Drunk tank sounds like an excellant job for johnnies. Oh and how do drunks afford it, I can barely afford to go out drinking once a week.
